Re: what redeeming value did you find in the lead character?

I thought the character did a fine job doing what he was supposed to - yes, pointless existence, wrong choices... human, in short... not the best human, but I think a very real person. I could perfectly feel some of his emotions... well, perhaps I am as rotten as he is, I don't know, but they did not feel artificial to me.

I agree on his fate - I too don't care, but the movie was not about that... and while I agree in the character development it leaves something to be desired, that was just one element of the film... it was like an extremely well made painting to me, and who cares the characters there were shallow fools of different kinds? You see those fools in every court portrait by Velázquez, yet they are masterpieces.

The atmosphere, the music, the imagery and smooth flow that Woody had created were all seductive, even though, as I said, this is not a great movie - did you see my original review?
